The New Yorker has unveiled an iPhone-optimized mobile Web site for its on-the-go readers. (Maybe The New Yorker was inspired by its recent iPhone-drawn cover?)

The site features five top stories in a feed that's updated twice per day. In addition, there are links to the publication's blogs, podcasts, and links by topic to some more recent stories, though the entire desktop site archive isn't available from the iPhone yet.

To get to the new site, key in iphone.newyorker.com on any iPhone or Wi-Fi-enabled iPod touch. Just be careful and don't do what I just did, which is to stop halfway through writing a blog post in order to read Elizabeth Kolbert's article on why we're all so fat.
